Three days ago, my 5 year old Black Marans chicken suddenly became really lethargic. She used to be really high energy and always run up to me when she sees me, but now she hangs back and moves very slowly. She stands or sits still with her eyes half closed, and has not been eating much. Her...
Hi all,
Posting because I’m nervous and want to make sure I’m doing everything that needs/can be done. Our 1.4 yr old Pekin duck laid an extremely soft shelled egg the other day. You could hardly handle it without puncturing it. Today she laid what’s in the picture. Here’s the situation and...
so I recently have a broody hen who has hatched out some eggs. I noticed today she can not stand or walk. She’s very wobbly, and uses her wings to keep steady. I noticed her poop is a very light green and she is panting. Does anyone know what I should do for her?
My 1.5 y/o silkie hen has really bad sourcrop. I have her inside and the smell coming from her pen area and near her is just completely foul. Her crop is so big and squishy. She’s having diarrhea that also smells horrid. She is just sitting and not really moving. I have only water with some ACV...
I bought a group of chicks about 2 weeks ago, there's one particular that has been looking off since I got them. Today I went to go change out their water and food, and saw that one laying down looking pretty bad. I've kind of suspected from the beginning that he might need to be culled since he...
Hi all
I have a 6 week old duckling who escaped his run yesterday and ate some Mugwort.
He’s a Black East India cross, so a bantam or miniature breed (idk what this is called in the US)
He ate a small a leaf lower down on the Mugwort plant before running off (as we were chasing him 🤦🏻)
I...
I’m a bit stumped on this. My hen suddenly is acting sick. I noticed on the camera she had been laying around in one spot for hours so i went out and checked on her. She did come right up to me and come out of the run for a bit. But she is puffed up, feathers drooped, lethargic, bigish squishy...
Hi. I posted a thread a little over a month ago about a Plymouth Rock I thought she may have water belly. From what I understand if waterbelly it should have killed her already, she is still alive but today has taken a turn for the worse. Yesterday, I seen her vomit twice clear liquid. She...
i recently bought a new hen who keeps doing something strange. she will at random points in the day go and drink a ton of water at once (more than she normally does at one time) and then spit out the water as well as some food from her crop, and then start eating the food she just spit out? i...
Hello, my father just recently ordered and received a shipment of about 20 4-6 day old dark brahma chicks. They all came in with pretty obvious angel wing but other than than nothing else seemed off. I've since been treating them with a chick water supplement but plan on switching them to a...
We have 7 guinea fowl, almost positive there are three hens as that's approximately how many eggs I get from them a day. For a while now, one light cream egg has been appearing very wrinkly and warped, still completely solid and hard. This morning I let everyone out of the coop and one of the...
tina turner is my 2.5-3 year old leghorn.
Last thursday evening when i went to put the girls back in their run I noticed she’d already let herself back in & her tail feathers looked a bit droopy. it’s been VERY hot this week ( heat index of 105°F some days) and all the girls looked hot so i...
It has been SO so rainy here and we did not put new bedding down in our run. I’m so worried I hurt our chickens by letting the run get rainy the past few days. :( Everyone is acting normal so I dunno whose this is…
If it is coccidiosis, can I get a confirmation of treatment? ;( We’ve got 19...
Hello I’m new to this community and i’m not sure if this is how you post on here, but I just wanted to come on here and share a concern I have for one of my chicks. I’m raising bantam chicks for the first time and all of them seem to be doing fine except one of them is concerning me. He’s always...
Hello, my mom is raising a chick and it keeps doing something weird with its head. I’ll put a video below. I don’t know what’s to do since I’m alone and she’s at work.
This is Shake n Bake, my 8 week old Buff Orpington chick. I bought her and 4 other chicks as day old chicks, and this chick is the only one who has an issue. She has always been shaky, and when she perches she tends to wobble a bit as if she's dizzy and loses her balance. When walking, she...
Hi, I need some advice on our chick who is having trouble breathing. They have gasping for air since Saturday or atleast that’s when my dad had noticed. I have looked up things on google but not completely sure if it’s gapeworms or Aspergillosis and honestly I’m not sure how to treat it. She’s...
I posted earlier about my sick roo, Tucker, but the thread fizzled out with folks telling me to change my flock feed and nothing much related to what might be causing my rooster to lose all his energy and his balance. He had had very watery poo for the last two days, but is drinking electrolyte...
Please help - my barred rock rooster, Tucker, has been out of sorts for the last couple days. Today I found him lying in the shade of birds' water structure. His balance is a little off, he has no energy, he's not eating or drinking much, and he is dragging his wings. I have him inside, and have...
I am afraid one of my chicks is not doing well. Yesterday, my friend who has peacocks for 30 years, lost one of her chicks. These were 7 from an experienced breeder. I have noticed one of mine, who has been very subdued from the go, not being out with the others. Today, he has only wanted to...
